Our Fabulous Views
of Boothbay Harbor

Soak in a Sunset (or a Sunrise) from atop our observation deck. Enjoy the company of old and new friends while enjoying your favorite refreshments.

You'll be awed by the quality of the air and the light, as you watch the comings and goings of the boats in the harbor below. Peaceful, relaxing, and just a short walk to downtown."Boothbay Harbor, Maine is the Way Life Should Be!"

Don’t Be Frozen, Let It Go!

Yes, it’s winter here in Maine, and though it’s cold outside, it’s warm as can be in here by the fire, watching the play of sunlight on the sugar-frosted harbor. And speaking of play, that’s just what we like to do here off season. Get a few friends to come up together, and play some games in front of the fire. Head out to Robinson’s Wharf, McSeagull’s or the Opera House and hear some great musicians play. Or snuggle in and share a little private play time with the one you love. You’ll find our room rates are reasonable (and we’re always running some kind of special), and even the drive is no worry with gas prices lower than they’ve been in years. Throw in a couple of our delicious gourmet breakfasts and you’ll be glad you came!

"First off. Location location location. Just a short walk down the hill and you are in the center of the harbor. Even nicer is the wonderful views from the "kitchen" and third floor decks. We began each day (we stayed four nights) with four different wonderful breakfasts. They were that good. Welch House does offer two dog friendly rooms and we took advantage of this and brought our Goldendoodle along with us. He made many friends at the Inn as well in Boorthbay which is a very dog friendly town. The owners and staff were as friendly and accomodating as you can ask."
